- Hi everyone.. I have a couple of questions about the Falcon 030 and the use of
- monitors for it..
-
- I read that it was compatible with all VGA montiors, as well as the ATARI
- monitors and TV's, etc.. What I wanted to know is if it makes a difference, or
- how the computer reacts to larger monitors, or different resolution monitors..
- Like a Multisync 5D, or a 19" monitor in color.
-
- Does the size of the monitor change the amount of colors? Does the computer
- automatically adapt to the reslotuion of a big screen monitor? I am talking
- about true color mode.
-
- In true color mode, does this mean the bigger the monitor the more colors? If
- not, what is the limit of colors/pallete? And are they developing any cards to
- use with the Falcon for 24 bit color or 32 bit color? Can the Falcon use a
- card to give it 16.7 Million colors on a 14' monitor?
-
- When buying a Falcon 030, does bigger mean better? The Falcon Screenblaster
- card, is 800x600 I think, but how many colors..
-
- I think they should make like a 1280x1280 16.7 million color card.. or
- something real high rez in order to compete or out-do the graphics on other
- platforms.
-
- Thanks,
-
